Description
Radiographic Exposure begins with the basic elements of x-ray production and its use in obtaining quality diagnostic images of human anatomy. The course will investigate the prime exposure factors, what these factors control and how they interrelate. Elements of digital imaging be presented. The students will learn the components of image quality and critique. Course topics include milliamperage, time, kilovoltage, distance, brightness, contrast, primary and secondary radiation, x-ray interactions, image distortion, grids, and automatic exposure control. Simplifying and standardizing technique will be presented. Prereq: MAT 111 and RAD 101 Co-requisite: RAD 112
